About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- K1515MZsarahc0 contributionsNouaman is more than a tour guide - he becomes a friend and will share his love of Chefchaouen with you!Nouaman is the best tour guide you could ever ask for. He has the amazing ability to instantly connect with everyone in the group and make everyone feel at comfortable. The tour was very informative both historically and culturally and Nouaman's also allowed us into his personal life which really enriched the tour and created a bond between our group and Nouaman. He answered all of our questions and took care of us like family. Due to our later arrival into the city and Ramadan we didn't get to see everything that Nouaman wanted to show us so he offered to pick us up the next morning and continue the tour, which we took him up on! We couldn't get enough time with him - he is so kind, open and knowledgeable! If you have the chance to tour Chefchaouen with Nouaman do not pass it up!Written March 17, 2025
- jenmX8882CG0 contributionsHighly recommend this tour operator!Today we did the Chefchaouen private full day excursion from Tangier with Rian as our driver and Abdul as our local Chefchaouen guide. I cannot recommend this tour and this beautiful city enough. Abdul is so friendly and funny and gives just the right amount of information. We had a slow walker with us and he adjusted his pace for her and was so kind. His love for his city really shows and is contagious. We loved every minute of our tour, and lunch at his recommend restaurant was fantastic as well! Rian was a very friendly driver who arranged for a special stop for tea when I mentioned an interest in this. A perfect day! This is a must do excursion if you’re spending time in Tangier and I highly recommend this operator, they are fantastic!!! (Sidenote: I work in the travel industry and do not give high reviews lightly!)Written March 16, 2025
- andreeaelenaf20200 contributionsAmazingAbdul is an amazing guide he has explained to us the history of chefchaouen as well as small little jokes and urban legends. This is definitely a tour to do if visiting chefchaouen for a short amount of time.Written February 28, 2025
- 813caraj0 contributionsExcellent Family AdventureThis was an incredible hike through the remote Rif mountains, through many different micro climates, up and over ridgelines, and along deep canyons. We saw several troupes of monkeys, fresh snow amongst towering pines, and endless vistas punctuated occasionally by Berber villages. We especially appreciated that we started the hike directly from the Chefchaouen medina. The inns along the way were simple and rustic with piles of warm blankets and surprisingly hot showers. The food in Akchour was good but in Affaska the dinner and breakfast were exceptional. Our guide, Najib, was helpful and happy to answer questions. He was unobtrusive and let us enjoy the hike by ourselves when we wanted to. Booking information beforehand was a bit sparse, so be sure to ask whatever questions via Whatsapp you need. We kept track of some approximate information to help: First day is 12 miles, 1200 meters up then 600 meters down. Took us 7 hours. Second day: 9.5 miles, a little bit of uphill 600 meters down, 5.5 hours. Last day was very chill, 4 hours of hiking with not a lot of up or down, though you can do more if you'd like. We did the hike with our 8 year old and she didn't have a problem, though she is a pretty accomplished hiker.Written February 9, 2025

- Nomadnotmad0 contributionsThe Blue CityMahmood was an incredible guide and made our visit to Chefchaouen unforgettable. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and really passionate about the city. We learned so much about the history and culture, and he showed us some beautiful hidden spots we would have never found on our own. The tour felt relaxed and personal, not rushed at all, and Mahmood was happy to answer all our questions. It felt like we were exploring with a local friend. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the real Chefchaouen – thanks again, Mahmood!Written December 27, 2024

- P9131XDjustink0 contributionsAmazing trip in The Rif mountains!It was a great trek with Chefchaouen Adventures. Booking and communication was clear and and easy. My guide, Yassine, was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and super fun. The trip was a really beautiful experience in the Rif Mountains through fields and villages, ending at the gorgeous area of the Akchour Waterfall. Accommodation in rural guesthouses was simple and clean. The home-cooking each night was definitely a highlight! Its a beautiful area, and best experienced on foot walking the historic donkey trails and village paths of northern Morocco.Written October 21, 2024

I enjoyed the tour completely relaxed without having to check my phone constantly for details and directions. For me that is the whole value of a private guided tour. I was at ease and worry free the entire time. Thank you.Written October 20, 2024

4 day trek was absolutely fantastic! All very well organised. Mohammed came to meet us the evening before we set off, to talk us through what to expect & help us to arrange leaving some luggage behind in Chefchaouen, to collect after completing the trek.
The route was great - mind-blowing views around every bend. Incredible variety of terrains & landscapes. Diversity of wildlife & plant life was amazing.
There was an option for an easier route on one day, but the more challenging route was well worth it!
We'd not done a guided hike before, so we weren't sure what to expect, but our guide - Najib - was brilliant and our holiday would not have been the same without him! He was very knowledgeable, a very experienced guide, a true professional and an absolute gentleman. The entire experience was totally seamless- Najib did a great job of ensuring that everything went smoothly for us throughout.
The accommodation was gites/bunkhouses. Some were more rustic than others, but all were very welcoming and the food was excellent throughout! Whenever we arrived at one we were greeted with tea & cakes/biscuits, a huge dinner was prepared for us every night, and a big breakfast each morning. All delicious! In every gite there were showers, towels, bedding & WiFi. We were made to feel very at home.
We were knackered at the end but it was a truly unforgettable experience and we would highly recommend it!

We spent 4 days and 3 nights in the rif and it was a wonderful time. Beyond the varied landscapes and breathtaking views, our trip is especially marked by the skillful kindness of our Guide Abdellah who does not know how to say no and who makes it all magical. The cottages are simple but clean, the hosts smiling and welcoming and especially the delicious hearty and healthy food. A big thank you to all your team!

Wonderful hiking in the Rif mountains! Thank you Najim for this great experience. Warm welcoming from our hosts, rooms very clean and delicious food. Moderate difficulty as described with short difficult parts. We saw various landscapes and even had the chance to swim in a paradise place near the Akchour cascades. Najim shared his great knowledge of all species and plants with us. Very rich experience to discover the culture from the North, do not hesitate and book!

My wife & I just finished a 4 day hike through the Berber villages in the Rif Mts organized by Chefchouan Adventures. The hike took us from Chefchouan to Akchour then to Taurarte, Afreska then back to Chefchouan. In the villages, we stayed at country gites, all with warm showers and amazing food. The dinners had appetizers of olives, dates, pickled vegetables, fava beans, etc. We were also served wonderfully rich soups followed by a tagines infused with the flavor of wood smoke from the open fire, then fruits. Breakfasts had goat cheese, homemade butter and jams, honey, eggs and homemade breads with coffee or tea. The gites also packed us a picnic lunch each day. Needleds to say, we didn't go hungry. In contrast, our guide observed Ramadan, so he didn't eat or drink all day leading us through 6-8 hours of hiking each day with total ascends of some 1400m. The Rif Mts are rugged but farmed extensively by the Berber villagers growing wheat, fava beans, chick peas as well as figs, almonds and a variety of other food crops, however cannabis is by far the most extensively grown and cover some very steep hillsides which could easily pass for an expert ski run. Nejib, our guide, patiently explained the importance of various crops, farming practices, way of life in the villages as well as conservation issues facing the farmers to us. His narration contribited greatly to our experience and enjoyment pf this adventure.
